Abstract
Glucose freely penetrates the glomerular membrane, but under normal conditions does not appear in any appreciable amount in the final urine. With normal levels of blood sugar and GFR, about 170 g/day penetrate the glomerular membrane. Practically all the filtered load is reabsorbed in the tubules.
